Palcy would know. At 64, the Martinique-born director — a trailblazer who won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival with her first feature, 1983’s Sugar Cane Alley, then directed Marlon Brando to an Oscar nomination in 1989’s A Dry White Season — has spent decades seeing her dream projects fall apart.

“Top Chef: Houston” contestant Ashleigh Shanti was like a boomerang: eliminated last week in “Don’t Mess with BBQ,” fighting for redemption on “Last Chance Kitchen,” and immediately earning a spot back in the competition for episode six, “Trailblaze-hers,” where she re-joined the other nine chefs: Damarr Brown, Jo Chan, Monique Feybesse, Evelyn Garcia, Jae Jung, Jackson Kalb, Luke Kolpin, Buddha Lo, and Nick Wallace. Did she fare better this week when the contestants paid tribute to legendary women?
